Red Flannel Salmon Hash With Poached Eggs And Coriander Hollandaise Food

SALMON POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• For the salmon: Place the salmon on a large baking sheet skin-side down. Drizzle salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes until flaky. Transfer to a cutting board.
• For the Hash: Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once heated add the potatoes and shallow-fry for about 8 minutes until evenly browned on all sides. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large bowl.
• Using 2 forks, flake the salmon, removing it in chunks from the skin, and fold into the potatoes.
• Remove most of the oil, leaving only a couple of tablespoons. Place over medium heat and add the sliced onions, sliced peppers and garlic and allow to caramelize. Add the green onions, thyme leaves, paprika and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Add the potatoes back to the pan and stir to combine.
• For the eggs: Place a large saute pan with high sides over medium heat and fill with a few inches of water. Heat until just below a simmer. Add a splash of white vinegar and using a wooden spoon, stir the water in 1 direction to create a small whirlpool. Crack the eggs and add, 1 at a time, to the spinning water. Allow to poach until desired doneness. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
• For the hollandaise: Put the egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, water, salt and pepper, to taste, into a blender. Blend together and then slowly start pouring in the melted butter with the blender running. Stop the blender when all the butter has been incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Thin the hollandaise with a little water, if it is too thick.
• Place the salmon-potato hash on serving plates or serving platter and top with the eggs. Pour hollandaise sauce over the eggs and garnish with or dill. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

RED-FLANNEL SALMON HASH WITH POACHED EGGS AND CORIANDER HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Make the custard:
• In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the shallots in the butter until soft, about 4 minutes. Spoon the shallots out of the pan and into a mixing bowl. Crack the egg into the shallots and whisk in the cream, chipotle puree, herbs, and salt and pepper.
• Make the hash:
• Break up the salmon into large chunks. Fold the salmon in with the beets and potatoes in a medium size bowl and pour the custard over the top, then toss gently with half of the panko or fresh bread crumbs. Try not to break up the salmon chunks. Form the salmon hash into 4 equal-size cakes no thicker than 1 inch, and sprinkle each cake with the remaining bread crumbs. Let the cakes rest in the fridge for 1 hour to set.
• Heat the butter in a deep heavy-bottomed skillet until shimmering and sauté the salmon cakes for 4 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice brown crust and are warm inside. As they are cooked, keep them warm in a 200°F oven.
• Make the coriander hollandaise:
• In the top of a double boiler, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and water until the liquid forms pale ribbons; this takes about 5 minutes. Whisk in the clarified butter until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper and ground coriander seed and fold in the cilantro leaves.
• Poach the eggs:
• Use a heavy saucepan, about 10 inches in diameter with sides at least 2 inches deep. Add water to a depth of 1 inch and bring to a simmer. Add a small amount of white vinegar to the poaching water for the eggs. (White vinegar helps the whites to coagulate.) Stir the water a little bit to create a vortex and crack an egg into the center. This helps the white stay centered around the yolk. Repeat for each egg. (You can also use a commercial poaching dish.) Poach the eggs to the desired degree of doneness.
• To serve, gently place a poached egg on each salmon cake. Drizzle with hollandaise and serve immediately.
• Chef's Trick: How to Clarify Butter
• Cut 1 pound of butter into 1-inch pieces and place in a heavy-bottom saucepan over low heat. Simmer butter very slowly, skimming off any white foam that rises to the top. After 15 minutes or so, the butter solids will sink to the bottom of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for a few minutes. Carefully ladle the clarified butter into a clean jar or crock. The clarified butter will keep, if well covered in the fridge, for up to 4 weeks.
• Yield: about 3/4 pound of clarified butter.
• *To make the chipotle puree, empty the contents of a small can of chipotles in adobo into a blender and puree until very smooth, making sure all of the seeds are broken down.

RED FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• Place steamer rack in large pot. Fill pot with enough water to come just to bottom of rack. Place all potato pieces on steamer rack. Bring water to boil over high heat. Cover pot. Steam potatoes until tender, about 13 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Place beets on steamer rack; steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to bowl with potatoes.
• Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels and drain. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet. Add bacon, onion, parsley, whipping cream, salt and pepper to vegetables in bowl. Heat drippings reserved in skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in hash mixture. Flatten with spatula to compact. Cook hash until brown on bottom, about 4 minutes. Continue cooking until heated through, stirring up bottom crust occasionally, about 10 minutes. Divide hash among 4 plates and serve.

Season hash to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 plates. Garnish with additional sour cream.

RED FLANNEL HASH WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Steam potatoes and beets in a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water, covered, until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 12 to 15 minutes; drain.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Stir in garlic, potatoes, and beets until evenly coated; season with salt and pepper. Mash some potatoes against side of pan with the back of a spoon. Stir in pastrami and press mixture into bottom of skillet.
• Transfer hash to oven; roast until top is crisp in places, 20 to 25 minutes. Make 6 wells in hash with the back of a spoon. Crack 1 egg into each well. Return to oven; cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, toss carrots, parsley, dill, and vinegar in a bowl; season with salt. Serve with salad, toast, and butter.

RED-FLANNEL HASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425. Rub the potatoes and beets with a bit of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap individually in foil. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. (Remove as they are done.)
• Toss the onions in enough olive oil to coat. When the potatoes and beets are about halfway into their cooking time, add the onions to the pan, and roast, turning occasionally until they're tender but not caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine the crème fraîche and horseradish in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
• Combine the asparagus, carrots, mint and greens in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss. Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more of whatever you'd like.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, crush them with your hands; peel and trim the beets, and chop to about the same size; same with the onions. Mix with the corned beef if you're using it, along with the scallions, cheese and some salt and pepper.
• Put 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the potatoes and beets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake the pan to form a single layer, and cook undisturbed, but adjusting the heat as necessary so that the vegetables sizzle and bubble. Add more butter if the pan looks dry, but the hash should never look oily. Cook until the potatoes and beets are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Turn, taste, adjust the seasoning, then sprinkle with some lemon juice and salt. Serve topped with a fried egg and a bit more lemon juice, with the asparagus salad on the side.
